Air passengers not entitled to clean toilets, court rules

That’s right, folks, a New York appeals court struck down that state’s attempt at a passenger bill of rights. In upholding the rights of the effluent, the court ruled that only the federal government can require airlines to provide passengers with things like food, water, clean toilets and fresh air.

The irony here is not that the law was struck down, it’s that such a law even exists in the first place. Only in Airlineland would there be a compelling enough need to actually pass legislation mandating clean toilets for paying customers.
